I went to the ASA website and perused the rules a bit.

Crossbows 40 yards, 330 FPS
Crossbows must be stock models with the exception of strings and cables. They must be in sound working condition with a functioning safety and no modifications except as needed for fit and alignment. Scopes up to 6x power may be used and may be equipped with lines or mill dots, but no light or image may be projected and there may be no range finding capability. Except as may be required due to an approved medical exemption, crossbows may only be shot in a standing position and the use of any device or outside agency (including wrapping the sling around the arm, hooked butt-plates, palm rests, stabilizer bars or a prop stick) that allows the mass weight of the bow to be relieved from either arm or to steady the bow is prohibited, but the use of the forward elbow against the ribcage or side is permitted. Bolts must be identical in size and weight with a minimum of three (3) vanes. Crossbows may only be cocked and loaded while the shooter is at the stake, and while loaded it must remain pointed down range at all times.

This looks like some good, common sense rules. While it cuts off some higher-speed bows it is not as handicapping as the max speed limit on compounds.

If you call what your crossbow shoots a bolt instead of an arrow Urban Legend will have a quarrel with you.
